*1. On Sony mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera series (the NEX-3, NEX-C3, NEX-5, and NEX-5N) that use APS-C size image sensors, the B011 provides an angle of view equivalent to a 27-300mm focal-length lens on a 35mm format camera.
*2. The angle of view is calculated based on the latest image sensor size of Sony mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera series.
*3. Length is the distance between the mount face and the tip of the lens.
*4. Entire length is the distance between the tip of the lens and the tip of the protrusion.

* The angle of view of the lens when used for video on the Sony digital HD video camera recorder NEX-VG10 is 32.4 - 360mm when converted to the 35mm format.

* Di III (Digitally integrated design): A designation Tamron gives to lenses engineered specifically for mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras with no internal mirror box or pentaprism, adopting an optical design that matches the characteristics of the digital camera. (Note: These lenses can not be used with digital SLR cameras with built-in mirror box or conventional 35mm film SLR cameras).

NOTE: When using Continuous AF (AF-C) Mode

  • Due to an inherent characteristic of this TAMRON lens, when using the Sports Action mode on Scene Selection, the continuous operation of the focus search function may cause some fluctuation in the LCD monitor image. However, there will be no associated problems on photos taken in this situation.
  • In other Shoot Modes (P, A, S, M), when the focus mode is set to Continuous AF (AF-C), the same condition may also arise. There will also be no associated problems on photos taken in this situation.

*As an alternative to either of the above settings, you can change the focus mode to Single-shot AF (AF-S) or Direct Manual Focus (DMF) and continue shooting.

  • Precautions when using the supplied flash

When using the flash supplied with the camera, adverse photographic phenomena such as corner illumination fall-off or vignetting at the bottom part of the image may be observed, especially at wide angle and at close range. This is due to the inherent limitation of the coverage of the supplied flash, and/or the relative position of the flash to the edge of the lens barrel which causes shadows on the image. We recommend removing the lenshood when using the supplied flash.
